Greetings,

VirtualBox when run as a userspace tool would not require root
password, not chown ISOs and VMs are created with regular user
privileges. Virt-Manager on the other hand requires root password,
changes ISO's owner to either qemu or root and VMs also created under
root user. Personally using root for such a trivial task is not
prefered. I can start Virt-Manager without root password using this
guide [1] but other two doesn't seem to be possible. Anyone know
anything about the issues I am facing.

I didn't see anything at that URL that about how to start Virt-Manager without the
root password.
Oddly, I don't need the root password to start virt-manager. My user was setup as an
"Adminstrator" (aka, the account has sudo access) so I only need to type in my
user password. That's how most people do it.
TYL,
